And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,

And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.

From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
